I received a PM from a new member with this question. She seems a little shy but I told her that open forum would be the best place for this one. So, with a little help from my friends and maybe sprinkled with a little google, let's see what comes out in the wash;

Anyone have any experience trying to or collecting child support from an ex who is across an international boundry specifically, mom in Canada, dad in the U.S.?

(to messina: check your motivations. Send the pics if the reasons will produce positive results. If father and child will benefit. If it is only to satisfy yourself then maybe leave things the way they are. You may be lettting a genie out of the bottle.)

I'm going to go ahead and past any sites I find that might have some solid info.

this quote is amazing..
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
